Petruccelli L.T.D
of North America says; At the very least, turn off your
computer completely at night.
Better yet ...unplugging your computer, TV & cable could cut down your footprint & reduce your electric bill. Most electronics have a standby mode that eats electricity all day & all night. According to a electronics specialist at my local electronics store, if you unplug the power strip that these electronics are plugged into is the easiest way to help save the life of your equipment & save on electricity. I live in Florida & power surges are very common especially during hurricane season. He also said that a lot of surge protectors burn out after only a few surges, leaving you unprotected. The power strip still functions so, you aren't always aware that it has happened. Unplugging is safer for your sensitive electronics.
